Fizzy Fun



If you're looking for a cheap and fun little experiment for the kiddos to do, you should try this one out.  I saw this on Pinterest and thought we'd give it a whirl.  Most of the items you probably already have in your home and what you don't have won't cost you much more than a dollar to get.  My son loved this little project, and it kept him busy for at least an hour (which is remarkable, considering he usually moves on to some other hairbrained idea after 20 minutes!). 













What you'll need:

Baking Soda
Vinegar
Food coloring
Squeeze bottles or droppers
A pan or dish


Add vinegar and your choice of food coloring to your squeeze bottles (I had the Wilton candy melting squeeze bottles, $1.99 for a two pack at Joann's) or eye droppers.  Pour out a decent amount of baking soda into your pan and let your kid have fun!  It's so simple, and the kids will really love watching the colored vinegar fizz when it hits the baking soda. 





This is definitely a fun project that we will do again.  My son really got a kick out of it, and he was surprisingly neat and not messy all.  Cleanup was a breeze, and the cost of this project is definitely doable.  I probably spent less than $6 for the whole thing (not including the dish since I already had that), and if you already have the stuff on hand you won't spend anything!  My kind of fun kid craft!
